Guys, I ruined my Jetbeam PA40.
I have a Jetbeam PA40 with XM-L LED and I was looking at it thinking that I would change out the LED to a neutral white XM-L2. I was Just doing a preliminary look at what it would take to get into it and so I removed those two screws to see what they were all about. Well that didn't get me anywhere. I rotated the nylon disk which those two screws held down to see if it could come out and I guess I ended up breaking a connection under it between the spring and the LED (driver).
Anyhow, I ended up making the light not work anymore and I think I just have a broken connection. But that pinkish/redish aluminum plug which I'm assuming acts also as a heat sink would need to unscrew. I bent my snap ring pliers trying to budge it. Looks like its glued in well.
Right now the PA40 is toast unless I can get that pink heat sink out. Any suggestions?
